Key Concepts

Genetically Predetermined Processes

These are biological processes that follow a set sequence governed by an organism's genetic code. Such processes ensure that certain changes, like the developmental milestones observed in maturation, occur automatically and in a specific order, highlighting the inherent blueprint provided by an organism's DNA.

Maturation

Maturation is the process of growth and development that occurs naturally according to a genetic timetable. It is characterized by automatic and sequential changes in an individual’s body and behavior that are largely independent of environmental influences. This concept is foundational in developmental psychology and biology as it explains how factors encoded in the DNA dictate the course and pace of physical and psychological development.
